THE EXPERIENCE

LEARN IN AN INTIMATE AND ENGAGING ENVIRONMENT

OUR STUDENT-TO-FACULTY RATIO IS 8:1 and our average class size is just 15, enabling students to engage and learn in ways that are not possible at larger institutions.

PREPARE FOR YOUR CAREER BY ENGAGING IN IT FROM THE START

EVERY PROGRAM AT WOODBURY REQUIRES AN INTERNSHIP. That means that students will begin applying what they learn while they are still in school, gain valuable experience, and make connections before they graduate.

BECAUSE WOODBURY IS PRACTICE-BASED, students also gain valuable, real-world experience in their classrooms and studios. From helping a non-profit rebrand, to designing a fashion collection, to developing a business plan, our students are gaining the experience they need to be successful while they are here.
